Tulips are in bloom at Cheekwood!


According to the website, they have 55,000 tulips in bloom.  Every one of them is absolutely gorgeous.  Right outside of the registration building are gardens of yellow tulips.

 
Then you turn a corner, and there are yellows and reds, with yellow and purple pansies at their feet.

 Then there are the pastel tulips.  These were my favorites.

  


They are just everywhere - lining the garden paths, hidden under the trees.  So very pretty.
 


And they still have the trains!!  They are actually now a permanent part of the gardens.  They are the hands-down favorite of every little boy there.




And there's this little car - all by itself.  It's like a sightseeing car - that looks like a ladybug!

 But you know what, no matter where you plant your flowers - the grow wherever they want.  Even at the best-tended botanical gardens.
